Is comedy lost on this generation?
A couple of years ago my cousin asked me to come with me on a double date. Needless to say we were going to watch a movie. And gratuitous anecdote aside, in the end i was subjected to watching this masterpiece.
And that ladies and gentlemen was my first real exposure to the insanely messed up world of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. If you somehow don’t know who they are just think of...

The Dark Knight Strikes at the Academy Awards a...
The general consensus about 2008 in cinema was The Dark Knight was one of (if not) the best films of the year. Sure there were capes and cowls and lavishly dressed antagonists but at its core it was a crime story. A classic detective film with the classic formula, although instead of a down on his luck private eye or a no nonsense police officer, we got Batman.
And after the movie came and...

Are Fans to Blame for Crappy Films?
“Vox Populi, Vox Dei” C’mon we all know what that means, and while not necessarily true in all fronts, i.e. democracy. It does however, for all intents and purposes, do it’s job to some extent. And as with all things in the world, doing the right job can only work for so long. Case in point, the most likely biggest victim of this proverb, the entertainment industry....

Fox's Big Ass Gamble
500 Million Dollars, that’s the budget rumor spreading around the internet about James Cameron’s new movie Avatar. Is it really that high? We’ll never know since the studio hasn’t and will probably never release an official tally. But to be fair, he has been working on this film for around 12-14 years so it could just be the sum total of the more than a decades work...

Based Upon the remake of the Novel by...
Hollywood is and always will be a goldmine of ideas, everyday, thousands of new concepts are hatched and yet only a select few are sustained. You see, although being that goldmine of ideas, Hollywood, or at least most of the major studios are not risk takers. They see a formula that works and they stick to it. It’s a safe business practice and Hollywood is as much a business as Microsoft. That...

You are Not Required to Love a Masterpiece
Over the past few months, upon going to forum after forum of movie sites i found a ton of scathing comments and reviews about a film i dearly love. The Boondock Saints. This little known film by little known director Troy Duffy was on point to be released in theaters in 1999 when the Columbine massacre happened. This, along with Mr. Duffy’s alleged doucheism, severely derailed the...
